Truffert relishing Premier League dream

Bournemouth's newest signing, Adrien Truffert, says he is thrilled to have joined the club as he prepares for his first taste of Premier League football.

Truffert was signed from Rennes as a replacement for Milos Kerkez. The deal is made up of an £11.4m fee and a possible £3m in add-ons, while Rennes have negotiated a 10% sell-on clause.

"Very happy to be here," Truffert said to AFCBTV. "It is a very good opportunity to make my start in the Premier League in this club, so very excited and very happy to be here.

"That's why I made this choice. For me to make my start in the Premier League, it's important to come early, to get to meet my teammates, to feel good on the pitch, a lot of time to prepare to have a very good season.

"It will be my first time in the Premier League, but I've played a lot of games in Ligue 1, and it can help me a lot because it's important to have experience before playing in the Premier League. I am very excited, and I will see when I will make my start, it is one of my dreams."
